Visual Concepts has been taking its time with WWE 2K22 in order to perfect the formula since the flop that was WWE 2K20. Now according to a leaker, WWE is set to reveal the anticipated WWE 2K22 General Manager game mode at an upcoming event.
According to leaker Millie Amand on Twitter, Visual Concepts is composing a reveal trailer for WWE 2K22's General Manager mode for either the upcoming Survivor Series or Royal Rumble events. This means that WWE fans who are looking forward to the return of General Manager mode only have to wait a few more months at the most. Survivor Series is set to take place on November 21, while the Royal Rumble is in the New Year on January 31.
Amand has stated that General Manager mode is 100% coming with the release of WWE 2K22. The General Manager game mode hasn't made an appearance in a WWE game since one of the final Smackdown vs. Raw titles, leaving fans of the mode waiting for several years. Fans have requested General Manager mode for nearly as long as it has been missing and it has been at the top of most fan request polls.
WWE fans who aren't privy to the General Manager game mode may have a new favourite mode to explore with WWE 2K22. Players are able to create matches with their favourite WWE athletes, decide which of them is worthy of the title, and create entertaining storylines. Filling a WWE pay-per-view card and booking the week-to-week TV shows are just a couple of the major decisions players will make in General Manager mode if it does in fact come to WWE 2K22.
WWE Survivor Series and Royal Rumble are both part of the big four annual pay-per-views that play a pivotal role in WWE's storytelling. Survivor Series has traditionally taken place during the Thanksgiving weekend, while the Royale Rumble starts the year off with big matches. Survivor Series brings allies and villains from each WWE show together in a battle to claim brand supremacy and the winner of the Royal Rumble typically goes on to face-off against the WWE or Universal Champion at Wrestlemania.
WWE 2K22 is set to release in March, but Visual Concepts has been quiet about the General Manager mode. What the developers have shown off so far looks like an improvement from WWE 2K20 as the graphics are noticeably better compared to the last installation in the series. Considering how glitch and bug-laden WWE 2K20 was, it's likely that the developers are focusing on performance as well as visuals.
